I don't think there is anything else we could have asked for whilst we stayed here. The hosts were friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The gardens are beautiful, and we spent a good deal of time just listening and watching the birds. The accommodations themselves were lovely as well! Very cozy, and you can tell that every detail was thought out by the hosts. We can't say enough good about this place. Highly recommend!

Peter was very welcoming upon our arrival. The cleanliness is exceptional, and is amongst the best we have ever experienced. Thought has been given to the smallest detail, The interior design, decor and ambiance is outstanding. Dave and Peter serve up a wholesome breakfast treat, which on its own makes us want to return. It is very close to the Goodwood motor racing circuit. This was perfect to enjoy a weekend getaway. For a bed and breakfast, our experience may be likened to a five star hotel. In fact, our stay at the Ritz Hotel in London did not fully meet with the same standard of hospitality as the Old School. This is the main advantage when your hosts care about their customers and they personally attend to your needs. The bed was very comfortable and the room was warm. Additionally the shower was hot, which was pleasant after spending a day out in the rain. Chichester has an abundance of places to eat out for dinner.
The entrance path from the car park area. Autumn is here. The garden must be amazing in Summer.
Our room was on the corner. Cosy and warm

Lovely B&B

We had booked here as a one-evening break away from the children, hoping for relaxation and a chance to recharge, and we completely loved it! Everything about this B&B was perfect; lovely hosts, clean, comfortable beds, absolutely delicious breakfast, beautiful gardens and house decor. Every detail had been thought about and the hosts were even kind enough to provide us with cutlery and plates so that we could eat in the conservatory with our takeaway. The B&B is close to beautiful countryside and Chichester. We felt so recharged. Would recommend to everyone!

Peter and David were amazing hosts who opened their magnificent BandB to us. The attention they have given to the house wasevident when we arrived in the evening. Their restoration was not only in excellent taste, but in ecological sensitivity and functionality. Morning allowed us to see the beauty of their garden from the breakfast room where we feasted on a gourmet quality meal. Their insight in activities in the area was excellent

A gem in Chichester

Our hosts were welcoming, gracious, attentive and provided great local tips. Breakfasts were outstanding, with multiple options. The house is beautiful and immaculately kept. The garden is an added bonus, really a few interesting mini gardens that feel quite private. Just outside Chichester, away from the bustle. While the forecast was for rain every day, in reality the rain was limited and didn’t dampen our plans. There’s a lot to see and do in the region, keeping us busy for six days.

A return visit to the The Old School B&B

Chichester and nearby Bracklesham are special places to us, so having somewhere to stay over that feels comfortable, welcoming and homely is an important part of making the most of our visits. Our second stay at The Old School maintained the very high standards experienced on our previous visit. Our hosts Peter and David again provided a warm welcome (even remembering the reason for our last stay in May) and although we'd opted for a different room, the same attention to detail, cleanliness and high standards were evident. The quality of the breakfast alone ticks so many boxes!! Without doubt, the best B&B we've ever stayed in, both in and outside of the UK...
